A HILLBILLY ROMP FEATURING THE HAIRY LEGGED LENTIL EATERS & BANDITS IN CONCERT 23rd JULY IN THE AMBER VALLEY AUDITORIUM
Stand by for an evening of Hillbilly- Country- Blue Grass-Folksy- Rock that will have you rocking in the aisles and begging for more. Remember numbers like Country Roads & Leaving on a Jet Plane by John Denver, Looking Out My Backdoor & Who'll Stop the Rain by Credence Clearwater Revival ? Just some of the songs you will hear from the Bandits.
From the Hairies you can look forward to Thank God I'm a Country Boy by John Denver, Teach Your Children by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young and Traditional songs Will the Circle Be Unbroken and Roll in My Sweet Baby's Arms plus many more.
The Bandits is a three-piece traditional Blue Grass band with that trademark string bass, guitar and banjo sound and they will open the show. Formed in 2001, the Bandits have developed into one of the Midlands most popular groups and have played at festivals like Splashy Fen, Poet's Porch and Southern Cross. Renowned for their tight harmonies, listen out for the a cappella opening of Blue Ridge Mountain.
They will be followed by the Hairies who are an iconic band in the Midland and always in great demand. A six to eight piece outfit, depending on the type of concert, these talented musicians are all performers in their own right. The band celebrated their 21st birthday last year. Brian and Huyton are the front vocalists with slick harmonies from the other band members. Most band members play a number of instruments as well as their vocals so be prepared for some real good music the way you remember it.
The pace will pick up towards the end when the Hairies will probably invite the Bandits to collaborate on a few numbers which is going to be a real treat for us.
We hope to show our appreciation by filling the auditorium so please come along along.
